Bennie Coney Evaluation

When I set out to examine the differences between Brian Kelly and Butch Jones I made one important note in terms of a prototype for Butch Jones's.

Jones on the hand does have an ideal QB type. I said it yesterday, and I will say it again now. Dan Lefevour is the  guy for Jones offensive system. He is big, has a strong arm and though he is not a burner, he is eminently capable of defeating a defense with his legs.

 

Star-divide

Bennie Coney checks all the of Butch Jones's boxes in terms of what he wants from his quarterbacks in terms of a skill set. He has great footwork and can destroy a defense from the pocket, he has an arm that enables him to make all the throws in the playbook and he is mobile enough to run the zone read effectively. Coney is pretty much the perfect fit for the offense that Jones prefers to run. Given the coming departure of Zach Collaros and the fact that Coney is on track to graduate early from Plant City and enroll in January Coney should be in contention for the wide open QB derby next year along with Munchie Legaux, Jordan Luallen, Patrick Coyne and  Stephen Weatherford.

It seems like we have some solid talent to compete for the job next year (Luallen, Munchie, Coyne, and now Coney) however I don’t think any of them really stand apart from the rest but all appear as if they will be very successful. I have to believe that 1 or 2 of these guys will not be here come next summer. Any thoughts on who it will be? I don’t think Luallen will leave due to him already having transfered once, but it did seem through twitter that Coyne was already upset about not being able to get on the field this year…

Did Coyne

think he was going to come in and play this year as a trure frosh? He didn’t enroll early and he hasn’t gone through an offiicial practice yet. I’m sure if he comes in and absolutely kills it during summer camp they might take a look at him getting some reps but even still it really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to burn his RS unless the other guys just aren’t cutting it. With that being said we are going to have 6 QBs on the roster heading into 2012 (Kay, Munchie, Luallen, Coyne, Coney and Weatherford). Hard to say if Kay will physically be ready to play but that still leaves 5 other guys who had multiple BCS offers on the depth chart. You hate to start predicting who will transfer but that’s a reality when you recruit certain positions at a high level.

I have to think one or more of those guys will change positions if they fall behind in the QB battle. I could easily see Coyne as a linebacker (particularly given how thin UC is in that position) , Kay moved to tight end (still have to wonder how healthy his knee is anyways), or Munchie moved back to WR.
